The Paradox of Joyful Arrival and the Mystery of Existence in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 22, Poem 19)
This concept explores the profound existential questioning in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 22, Poem 19). It highlights the paradoxes of human existence: arriving in a world of affliction with joy, and being immersed in an ocean yet remaining dry-lipped. The poem contrasts the peaceful, restful state of non-existence (عدم) with the painful, confusing reality of worldly existence (وجود). Ultimately, it questions the fundamental purpose and reason for this transition from peaceful non-being into the turbulent realm of being.
